TEDDY S FRIENDS WILL AT-
TEMPT TO SEAT SUCCES
SOR TO ROSEWATER
Plan on Foot to Prevent Indorse-
ment of Senator Root for
Chairman
Chicago, June 2.—Frieuds of
Col. Roosevelt announced Sunday
that the first real test of strength
between their candidate and Pres
ident Taft will come next Thurs-
day when R. B. Howell of Oma-
ha, national republican comrait-
teeman-elect from Nebraska, will
demand to be seated as the suc-
cessor of Victor Rosewater, acting
chairman of the national republi-
can committee, prior to the hear-
ing of contests by that body.
The Roosevelt managers are
prepared to make a determined
fight to have Mr. Howell seated,
and if they succeed they will de-
mand that' Borden I). Whiting of
New Jersey, Thomas Niedring-
haus of Missouri, and other na-
tional committeemen-elect chosen
either by direct primary or state
convention, be seated.
By this means, they may suc-
ceed in controlling the national
committee and deciding whether
Senator Elihu Root of New York
shall be recommended as tempor
ary chairman of the convention.
Harry S. New, chairman of the
sub committee on arrangements
for the convention, declined to
discuss the plans of the Roosevelt
leaders but intimated that hi be-
lieved the national commit',ee
would not seat Mr. Howell or any
other eommitteeinan-elect until
after the adjournment of the con-
vention. He also expressed the
opinion that the national commit-
tee would approve of the selection
of Senator Root as temporary
chairman and indorse the plan
adopted for the distribution of
convention tickets.
Mr. Howell arrived here Sun-
day armed with a certificate sign-
ed by Governor Aldrich, of Ne-
braska and the secretary of state,
auditor, treasurer and attorney
general of that state, setting forth
that he was regularly elected to
the office April 10. 1912.
Mr. Howell, after conferring
with Secretary Sims of the nation-
al Roosevelt committee, issued the
following statement:

public statements as to my inten-
tions in the matter of claiming a
seat in the republican national
committee when that body meets
next Thursday to consider the
claims of contesting delegations.
However, some time ago I did
communicate my views to the
managers of the Roosevelt cam-
paign respecting my right to im-
mediate recognition as the nation-
al committeeman from Nebraska.
"There can be no question that
I am under the laws of the state.
the only person entitled to act as
national committeeman from Ne-
braska. 1 have a certificate of el-
ection issued by Nebraska's secre-
tary of state and 1 have qualified
to assume my duties as national
committeeman, as provided by
law.
Beginning Monday, Chicago
will be the center of the fight for
the nomination of president, as
the headquarters of Tatt, Roose-
velt, LaFollette and Cummins
will be opened here.
Senator Joseph M. Dixon, cam-
paign manager of Roosevelt, and
Congressman W. B. McKinley in
charge of President Taft's cam-
paign, are expected from Wash-
ington Monday. Tuesday or Wed-
nesday, Charles D. Ililles, secre-
tary to President Taft will arrive
to remain until after the conven-
tion.
Members of the national com-
mittee are gathering to attend the
meeting of that body next Thurs-
day. and it is expected that by
Wednesday every member will be
here.
Five members of the committee
already are here. They are Harry
S. New, of Indiana; David W.
Mulvane of Kansas; Pearl Wight
of Louisiana; Ralph E Williams
of Oregon, and Frank 0. Lowden
of Illinois. Boise Penrose of
Philadelphia and a number of
other members of the national
committee are expected Tuesday.
Former Senator Dick of Ohio,
who is to handle the contests for
President Taft before the nation-
al committee, will be here Mon-
day morning, and Ormsby Mc-
Harg, who is to represent Colonel
Roosevelt in the matter of con-
tests, is expected to arrive Mon-
day evening. Both will remain
here until after the national com
mittee concludes the hearing of
contests.
Secretary William Hayward of
the national committee, received
one new contest Sunday. It was
another list of delegates-at-large
from Florida, which makes three
sets chosen at large from that
state, two Taft and one Roosevelt.
The following list of 230 con-
tests has been prepared by the
clerks in the office of the secre-
tary of the national committee for
submission to the committee:

McKinley Claims 583
Washington. June 2.—Director
McKinley issued a statement Sun-
day declaring that 583 delegates
to the Chicago convention are
pledged to President Taft. This
is 43 more than enough to nomi-
nate. He declares further that
Col. Roosevelt lias 427 or 113 less
than enough to nomiuatfc. Twen-
tytwo delegates remain to be
chosen. Col. Roosevelt is count-
ing 200 of Mr. Taft's delegates.
"There is no longer any ques-
tion that the frieuds of President
Taft will be in a majority in the
convention and will control that
body from the election of tempor-
ary chairman until adjourn-
ment," said Mr. McKinley. "Mr.
Roosevelt and his friends will
face a very different situation in
the republican national conven-
tion from any they have faced
thusfar in this campaign, in that
the delegates will all be republi
cans. | f
"Secondly the delegates for the I'
most part ar* men of calm and ma-
ture political judgment who will
not be stampeded by noise and
bluster. Demand will be made on
all sides for a strict adherence to
instructions and pledges and no
delegates instructed by their con-
stituents to vote for President
Taft will record their votes other-
wise.
"Mr. Roosevelt will be accord-
ed the same square deal. No
rights which any candidate may
possess in the premises will be de-
nied and on the other hand no
rights which any one candidate
may have will be permitted to be
perverted by unfair means.
"The methods which Mr.
Roosevelt and his managers have
pursued to attain their ends, is
now pending before the republi
can national committee. Mr. I
Roosevelt is contesting the seats
of more than 200 delegates before
that body and a flimsy pretext on j
which lie is making his contests
will be shown to the country when
the contests are lie: rd before the
committee. The contests will be
decided on their merits by the
ruling body of the party.

Tucson, Ariz., June 3.—An up-
roar developed immediately after
J. L. Hubbcll, chairman of the
state central committee had call-
ed the gathering to order and J.
J. Reddick, a Taft, man, was chos-
en temporary chairman.
Jaseph H. Kibbey, former terri-
torial governor of Arizona, pro-
tested against the methods of the
central committee, in making the
temporary roll, and the Roose-
velt men at this juncture escorted
Thomas Molloy of Yuma, to the
platform and installed him as
chairman of a separate conven-
tion. The Roosevelt men rushed
to the stage and Reddick. as
chairman of the regular Taft eon
vention. and^Molloy as chairman
of the Roosevelt gathering, match-
ed voices and wits in efforts to be
heard above the din.
Reddick named a credentials
committee which seated only Taft
delegates. Ignoring this, the con-
testing Roosevelt men rushed
through their business of naming
six delegates to the Chicago na-
tional convention.
Ralph Cameron, former dele-
gate to congress from that terri-
tory, was named national com-
mitteeman by the Taft conven
tion.
The Taft men who retained con-
trol of the state convention ad-
journed after having instructed
a national delegation for Presi-
dent Taft, although the unit sys-
tem was not imposed.
